Up-to-date and accurate manpower information is essential in making wise vocational
decisions. In recognition of this need, Federal, State, and local government agencies
are issuing an increasing number of publications which inform vocational counselors
and others about trends and developments which have implications for career
decisions. This Guide was prepared to encourage the wider use of these materials.
This bulletin was prepared by Gerard C. Smith, under the direction of Neal
Rosenthal, in the Bureau’s Division of Manpower and Occupational Outlook. Joseph
J. Rooney, Gary G. Rubenstein, and John M. Sumansky assisted in the research and
writing of the bulletin.

IN TRO D U CTIO N

In an ever growing and changing society, such as ours, the task of making sound vocational and educational
decisions is a growing challenge. Consider, for example, the pace of technological change in recent years and its
effect on job opportunities and job security. Hundreds of thousands of production jobs have disappeared in
various regions, occupations, and industries. At the same time, new industries, products, and processes have
generated employment opportunities-many of these in new occupations. Educational and training requirements
have been raised across a broad range of occupations. Achievement of effective vocational and educational
decisions is further complicated by the unusually large numbers of youths and women entering the labor force,
and lingering high levels of unemployment among youth, older people, and minority group members.
To meet the challenge, counselors must be informed on the major aspects of the Nation’s manpower trends. For
example, they should be familiar with the changing job content of occupations; those occupations with excess
workers and those with worker shortages; the new occupations resulting from technological change; and those with
growing or shrinking employment opportunities. Commenting on the effectiveness of counselors without a full
knowledge of occupations, an outstanding leader in the field of counseling points out that “the weak counselor
pools his own ignorance of occupations with the ignorance of the client and from this shallow pool tries to help
the client to select an appropriate occupation.” 1
A veritable storehouse of occupational and other manpower materials is published by government agencies—both
Federal and State—which can help counselors and counselees to achieve the most effective vocational and
educational decisions. These publications cover a wide range of subject matters including job descriptions, industry
and occupation employment trends, changing occupational structure in industry, entry jobs, training requirements
for specific occupations, and starting and managing a small business. Some publications include valuable
bibliographies on subjects of particular interest to counselors. Much material published by State agencies deals with
current and future occupational employment requirements in individual labor areas; or the duties and
characteristics, qualifications required, employment prospects, and related information for individual occupations
or groups of related occupations.
The Counselor's Guide to Manpower Information previously published in 1964,2 is a selected bibliography of
representative materials from all Federal and many State agencies from 1962 through early 1968. Emphasis is
placed on the latest available published materials.
In addition to the preceding separate publications which provide national information, many publications provide
State and local area manpower information. State employment agencies affiliated with the U.S. Department of
Labor publish much valuable information on occupations and employment opportunities in State and local areas.
These State agencies prepare two principal types of studies—area skill surveys, which analyze current and future
occupational requirements in individual labor areas; and occupational guides, which provide career information for
individual occupations or groups of related occupations. State agencies also publish special manpower and labor
market studies that deal with future manpower supply, characteristics of the work force, changes in State and area
economic activity, and the employment structure of industries.

2See the Counselor's Guide to Occupational and Other Manpower Information: An Annotated Bibliography o f Selected Government
Publications. U.S. Department of Labor (BLS Bulletin 1421, November 1964).

The Guide to Local Occupational Information, compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of
Employment Security, lists local level occupational guides, occupational guidance publications, and area skill
surveys. (See page 19.)
No attempt was made to tap the vast field of private publications; counselors should consult the NVGA
Bibliography o f Current Occupational Literature, 1966 Edition, published by the National Vocational Guidance
Association.

Use of the Guide
For ease of finding publications pertaining to a specific subject, the Guide is divided into four basic sections:
occupational and industry manpower literature; education, financial assistance, and placement information;
manpower problems and issues; and special groups in the labor force. Introductions to each section identify the
subject area and associated manpower problems. Where applicable, the section introductions describe governmental
policies and programs related to them. Each section is divided into several sub-sections which focus on a specific
subject. Annotated listings are presented on each subject in alphabetical order. The Guide also includes a section
on basic statistics, available from government sources, that can be particularly useful to counselors; and a section
on directories, catalogs, and bibliographies. Appendixes include helpful hints to counselors on how and where to
order government publications.
In citing Federal publications, abbreviations have been used to conserve space. These abbreviations indicate, in
order of their appearance, (1) the name of the issuing department and (2) the agency (abbreviation in parentheses)
to which requests for free publications may be directed. When agencies within a department are responsible for
publications, they are listed immediately after the departmental abbreviation. Free publications may be obtained as
long as supplies last. Virtually all priced publications may be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office. Federal agencies are listed alphabetically, by their abbreviations, in Appendix B, along
with their addresses. (See also Appendixes A through E for information on how and where to order Federal
publications.)
Free State and local government publications may be requested from the agency whose name and address appear
immediately following the publication title. Priced publications may be ordered from the organization whose name
and address appear in parentheses.
Publication citations in the Guide that are preceded by an asterisk are considered suitable for counselees and
counselors to use. The titles of periodicals are italicized for ease in identification. Information on subscriptions to
selected periodicals is provided in Appendix D.
Many of the publications listed in the Guide are available free of charge; the others may be purchased. School and
public libraries may be sources for some of these publications. Also, Federal depository libraries may be excellent
for Government manpower information. (See Appendix E for list and explanation of Federal depository libraries.)

COUNSELOR'S 6UIDE TO OCCUPATIONAL AND OTHER
MANPOWER INFORMATION
A BASIC MANPOWER B O O K SH ELF

Of the hundreds of useful government manpower publications cited in this bibliography, several should be on
every counselor’s reference bookshelf because they are basic sources of comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date
information. These selected, publications are identified briefly below with references to the pages in this
bibliography where they are discussed.
The Occupational Outlook Handbook is the most comprehensive source of occupational and industry career
information available. Published every 2 years by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, it
provides information on the nature of work, long-term employment outlook, and related topics for hundreds of
occupations, and major industries. (See page 4.)
The Occupational Outlook Report Series consists of individual reprints of statements published in the
Occupational Outlook Handbook (119 for the 1968-69 edition). These reprints enable counselors to make
occupation and industry information readily available to students interested in specific careers. (See page 4.)
The Occupational Outlook Quarterly supplements the Handbook by presenting up-to-date occupational outlook
and other timely manpower information. (See pages 9, 86.)
The Dictionary o f Occupational Titles (D.O.T.) published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of
Employment Security, is an encyclopedia of job definitions and related data. The 1965 edition of the D.O.T.
contains information on about 22,000 jobs, of which about 6,000 are new to the D.O.T. since the previous 1949
edition. (See page 21.)
The Handbook on Women Workers published every 2 years by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau, is
a sourcebook of facts on women’s employment, occupations, earnings, education, and related subjects. (See
page 63.)
The Manpower Report o f the President including a Report on Manpower Requirements, Resources, Utilization,
and Training published annually by the U.S. Department of Labor is the Federal Government’s primary report on
manpower problems. It discusses the many factors affecting manpower requirements, resources, utilization, and
training. (See page 42.)
Each major branch of the Armed Forces publishes a comprehensive career handbook and other helpful materials,
which describe occupations and training programs for enlisted men. These publications include: U.S. Army
Opportunities; U.S. Navy Occupational Handbook; U.S. Air Force Occupational Handbook; and Occupational
Specialties, issued by the U.S. Marine Corps. (See pages 26, 27.)

National Information
The Federal Government is the main source of occupational and industry manpower information that is primarily
national in scope. A representative sample of the increasing volume of publications incorporating such information
is shown below. The subject matter is varied, but in general deals with careers in individual occupations,
employment changes in industries, and education and training programs which lead to jobs in specific fields.

Occupational Outlook Handbook
The Occupational Outlook Handbook, compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, is
a basic reference book of occupational information. The Handbook is based on information gathered from
industry, labor organizations, trade organizations, trade associations, professional societies, Government agencies,
and educational institutions. It draws upon an extensive program of research in industrial and occupational trends
in the United States.
The Handbook, first published in 1949 and every other year since 1957, is now in its eighth edition. It provides
comprehensive information for approximately 700 occupations and 30 major industries describing their work,
earnings potential, training and educational requirements, and outlook. It also discusses future trends and
conditions which are likely to affect employment outlook in the decade ahead. The 1968-69 edition contains 765
pages with many illustrative photographs and charts.
The Handbook and all other Occupational Outlook Service publications are available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, or from any of the eight regional offices
of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (See Appendix B, page 83 for addresses.) Send
check or money order. (See appendix A, page 79 for: How to Obtain Federal Government Publications.)

Occupational Outlook Report Series
The reports in the Handbook are produced in a series of reprints, each of which covers a single occupation,
industry, or a group of related occupations. These reprints enable counselors to make occupational information
easily available to more students interested in specific careers. Teachers can use the reports as motivational aids in
relating school subjects to earning a living. These reprints are invaluable to groups or organizations answering
career inquiries with authoritative information. Single reprints can be ordered. (See text pages 4 through 9 for a
complete list and prices.)

O CCU PA TIO N A L AND IN D U STR Y MANPOWER STU D IES
Changes in the number of workers employed in occupations and industries are inevitable in an economy typified
by changing markets, technology, resources, and other characteristics. Many agencies of the Federal Government
prepare studies and reports on occupational and industry employment. These studies may cover the economy as a
whole or individual occupations and industries. Examples of occupational and industrial manpower literature are
listed below.

Surveys of the manpower situation in selected industries are conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau
of Employment Security. Survey reports usually describe industry employment trends and current labor needs, by
region, State, and labor areas. Changing occupational patterns in industries are sometimes discussed. Summaries of
these reports are published in Employment Service Review, a monthly publication; separate reprints are also
available. Single reproduced copies of those surveys which are out of print are also available upon request from the

State and Local Area Information
A great deal of information on occupations and employment opportunities is published by State employment
security agencies. These State agencies prepare two principal types of studies—area skill surveys and occupational
guides. One or more such studies have been published by 50 State agencies since 1957. State agencies also publish
special studies that deal with future manpower supply, characteristics of the work force, changes in State and area
economics, and the employment structure of industries.
Area skill surveys analyze current and future occupational requirements in individual labor areas. Survey data
provide a basis for anticipating the occupational needs of area industry and estimating the supply of qualified
manpower. Some specific topics covered by most area skill surveys are: The occupational composition of current
employment, by sex and broad age groups; future occupational requirements—usually 2 to 5 years hence; current
occupational supply and demand situations; the supply of workers expected to be trained over the forecast period;
information on apprenticeship and other training programs; the number of workers in training; and employer
opinion regarding the need for pre-employment or supplementary vocational training.
Occupational guides contain information on job duties; employment prospects; working conditions; entry methods;
advancement opportunities; hours and earnings; and education, training, and experience requirements for individual
occupations or groups of related occupations. Occupations selected for analysis usually are those important to
local industries, or those of interest to particular groups, such as young workers.
Special manpower and labor area studies cover a wide variety of subjects, including: (1) manpower projections,
(2) studies of State and area economics, (3) studies of labor force characteristics, e.g., age, sex, racial composition,
and (4) industry analyses.
Counselors should request lists and copies of published reports from the reports and analysis section of the
individual State agencies. Also, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Employment Security has two free
publications designed to promote wider acquaintance with and increased utilization of labor information issued by
State employment security agencies. These publications are: (1) Guide to Local Occupational Information, which
lists occupational guides and area skill surveys issued by State agencies through mid 1966; and (2) Job
Opportunities Information, which lists occupational guides and skill surveys currently in process.
Examples of studies done by State employment security agencies are listed below:

Job Descriptions
Rapidly changing technology creates many new jobs and destroys many others. Also important, however, are the
influences of technological advances on job content and, therefore, on the training requirements of occupations.
Changes in job content are often obscured because job titles remain unchanged.
Job descriptions are available in various types of government publications, including many job guides and wage
surveys. Some State governments publish handbooks of occupational briefs, which describe those jobs important to
the State’s economy. The Dictionary o f Occupational Titles, popularly called “THE D.O.T.” is an encyclopedia of
job definitions and related information.

Education, Training, and Retraining
Lack of education and training is a basic factor in unemployment. Although steady gains in the educational
attainment and formal training of American workers have helped them meet the demands of rising job standards
and shifting occupational patterns, millions still lack basic education and preparation for work. Thus, in March
1967, more than 750,000 of the unemployed were high school dropouts, and almost 750,000 had finished 8 or
fewer years of school. These unemployed, because of their limited schooling, have difficulty not only in finding
new jobs but also in finding training opportunities.
Education and training requirements for employment are increasing steadily. Yet, about 30 percent of all youths
now drop out of school before finishing the twelfth grade. All aspects of the employment situation are less
favorable for school dropouts than for young people who have completed at least high school. For example, the
unemployment rate of school dropouts is much higher than that of high school graduates; dropouts have difficulty
in obtaining full-time work; the jobs they do get are among the less desirable; and their lack of education
handicaps them in acquiring training and adapting to technological and occupational changes.
Education and training problems affect manpower and the economy as a whole. Therefore, the Federal
Government has instituted a number of programs to help achieve a work force using the skills and flexibility
demanded in today’s world. These programs include, for example, Federal grants to supplement State and local
expenditures for vocational education and technical training; training institutes for science teachers and assistance
to medical and dental schools; fellowships for postgraduate work in the natural and social sciences, engineering,
and other professional fields; and inservice training for Federal civilian employees and the Armed Forces.
Congress has enacted legislation responsive to education and training needs. For example, the Manpower
Development and Training Act of 1962 and its amendments provide for education and training programs to equip
the unemployed and underemployed with marketable skills. Under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, workers who
are laid off or working only part time because of increased imports resulting from tariff concessions are eligible for
retraining allowances and other financial aid. The Vocational Education Act of 1963 encourages States to establish
and expand vocational education programs to provide more students with occupational training and help upgrade
workers’ skills. The Higher Education Act of 1965 provides funds to help financially weak colleges and
universities; to give financial aid to students; and to improve the quality of undergraduate instruction. Under the
1963 amendments to the National Defense Education Act, the ceiling on Government loans to college students
was raised. These amendments also provide increased funds for school counseling and testing. Money was made
available to purchase a greater variety of teaching equipment in certain subject areas. In addition, the Economic
Opportunity Act of 1964 established programs to increase opportunities for youth to obtain education, vocational
training, and useful work experience.
The Department of Labor administers a number of manpower development programs, chiefly, the work-training
programs (Neighborhood Youth Corps, Job Corps, and others) provided by the Economic Opportunity Act; the
training activities under the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA); and programs to promote
apprenticeship training.
The various measures taken by the Government generally are designed to strengthen education, training, and
retraining at all levels and for all groups. It is hoped that these measures lead to a long-run solution of the many
educational problems.
Information on these problems and programs is available in the publications listed below. (For appenticeship

Financial Assistance To Students
The costs of higher education prevent many gifted young people from attending college. At the same time,
modern technology is altering manpower requirements towards more education and training. To relieve this
problem, the Federal Government has developed an extensive program of scholarships, Government loans, and
Government insured private loans under the National Defense Education Act of 1958. Work-study programs are
provided by institutions of higher education under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, and outright grants to
exceptionally needy high school graduates are being made through the Educational Opportunity Grant Program
authorized by the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Some Federal Government agencies including the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration separately sponsor financial assistance programs for needy and gifted students, often in
conjunction with private groups. A vast number of private associations and institutions also give scholarships and
loans to deserving students.
A new program, set up under the Veterans’ Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966, authorizes aid up to 36 months
of college or other institutional training for veterans who have had military service since January 1, 1955.

MANPOWER PROBLEM S AN D ISSUES
Unemployment and underemployment are two of the country’s major economic problems. Although we have
experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, we have not been able to improve the quality, adaptability,
and mobility of the labor force sufficiently to obtain full employment. Even today, in the midst of an economic
expansion, many workers cannot find employment or are forced to work at jobs that do not make full use of
their skills and abilities.
Underlying unemployment, underemployment, and other serious manpower problems have been factors such as, a
swelling labor force, rapid technological innovation, changes in defense requirements, and changes in consumer and
business demand for goods and services. These developments have altered occupational requirements in favor of
jobs requiring greater education and training. Employment in white-collar occupations has risen faster than in
manual occupations. Also, among both blue-collar and white-collar occupations, there has been a shift away from
jobs requiring relatively little skill.
Other factors contributing to imbalances in manpower supply and demand are the large number of youths who
lack the education necessary for a rewarding adult life; the unwillingness or inability of many workers to respond
quickly to employment opportunities and to adjust to changing job requirements; and the existence of serious
manpower shortages in some occupations while, at the same time, there is a large supply of unused manpower.
Also, developments such as the rapid growth in the number of young job seekers, along with technological and
other changes in skill requirements, indicate a long-term persistence of manpower problems.
Our basic manpower problems, as well as measures designed to alleviate them, are the focus of the publications
annotated in this section.

Defense Expenditures and Manpower Needs
Expenditures for national defense generate a large volume of employment. More than 8.7 million persons were
employed in defense-related activities in early 1967. More than half of these workers were directly employed by
the Federal Government—about 3.4 million military personnel and over 1.2 million civilians in the Defense
Department. Nearly 4.1 million workers were employed in defense-related industries supplying missiles, research
and development, and other goods and services.

Shifts in the size and types of defense programs can influence overall economic activity. For example, the
increased importance of missiles has resulted in the need for additional thousands of scientists, engineers, and
technicians, in some cases aggravating already short supplies. Changes in defense programs have a marked impact in
States and communities where defense-related employment is a large proportion of total employment. The
termination of defense contracts often creates pools of unemployment in these areas.
The Federal Government has established various programs to help counteract the employment effects of changing
defense requirements. For example, the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 and its amendments
encourage business firms to establish facilities in areas of high unemployment. Defense expenditures can be used as
a tool to reduce unemployment; under certain conditions, plants in areas of high unemployment may receive
special consideration in the awarding of contracts.

Depressed Areas
Since World War II, economic growth and employment have lagged in some areas. Shifts in consumer demand,
technological change, depletion of natural resources, and outmigration of industrial plants have created pockets of
poverty. Often, these depressed areas are relatively small communities that are heavily dependent upon one
industry, and offer little diversity of employment opportunities. Provisions of the Manpower Development and
Training Act of 1962 seek to aid areas of high unemployment by encouraging firms to locate plants in these areas
and by training unemployed workers to fill existing vacancies and anticipated new jobs. The Public Works and
Economic Development Act of 1965 is designed to help communities, areas, and regions in the United States
which are suffering from excessive unemployment or underemployment. Administered by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Economic Development Administration, the act provides for financial and technical assistance needed
to create new jobs. (SEE ALSO: Education, Training, and Retraining, page 34.)

Labor Standards
Legal statutes relating to minimum wage, overtime pay, hours of work, length of workday, minimum age for
employment, accident compensation, working conditions, social security, unemployment insurance, and more
recently discriminatory hiring practices, have been enacted to protect the health, wages, general welfare, and rights
of workers. These laws cover groups in the economy such as women, children, Negroes, and farmworkers, who
have, in the past, encountered some difficulty in maintaining either their position or rights as workers.
In 1961, Congress amended the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to raise minimum wages and extend the
coverage of minimum wage and overtime pay laws to new industries, including retail trade. A 1966 amendment
extended coverage to some farmworkers. Another recent amendment, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, requires that
men and women receive equal pay for equal work. Other legislation applicable to women covers minimum wage,
maximum daily and weekly hours, nightwork, meal periods, and industrial homework. The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, appointed according to the Civil Rights Act, became effective in July 1965, and has
moved to eliminate discriminatory practices by employers, unions, and employment offices. Also, there are child
labor laws that restrict the kinds of work young people may do, and the number of hours they may work while
school is in session. In addition to Federal labor laws, many State laws are designed to protect the standards of
work and rights of employees.
Workers dealing with life, health, safety, general welfare, and property usually are required to be licensed. For
example, professional workers, such as physicians, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, and certified public accountants,
must be licensed. In addition, workers in more than 100 nonprofessional occupations such as optician, plumber,
beautician, and well driller, require licenses in one State or more. Licensing requirements differ by State according
to training, experience, and age.

Technological Change
Technological change promises many social and economic advances including higher standards of living, better
working conditions, and more leisure time. Advancing technology already has given rise to new industries and new
jobs, and has relieved men of much heavy physical labor and much dangerous and repetitive work. However, these
benefits have not been without cost. Although total employment has reached new peaks, unemployment and
underemployment continue to be serious problems.

Responsibility for trying to reduce the burdens imposed by technological change falls upon employers, workers
and their representatives, and government. Recognizing their responsibility, all groups have acted to alleviate the
hardships caused by technological progress. For example, some business firms have established personnel policies
that call for the reassignment or retraining of displaced workers. Recent labor-management agreements provide for
early retirements, lump sum severance pay, and relocation allowances. In addition, Congress has enacted legislation
to provide for the training and retraining of workers. Examples of such legislation are: the Manpower
Development and Training Act of 1962, as amended; the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; and the Vocational
Act of 1963.

Worker Mobility
The efficient allocation of labor depends on both occupational and geographic mobility. In recent years, there
have been substantial changes in the occupational distribution of employment and in job requirements. Yet, the
labor force has met this problem without any major difficulties. A rising educational level has been the major
force behind the rapid and successful adjustment of the labor force to changing occupational requirements.
Nevertheless, for many individuals occupational mobility is limited by the lack of adequate education and the
inability to acquire the necessary skills. Geographic mobility is restricted by lack of information and by the
inability of jobseekers to finance transportation, job search, and change of residence. Moreover, the mobility of
workers is limited by job discrimination against minority group members and the nontransferability of pension and
seniority rights from job to job.
The Federal Government is sponsoring studies to aid in the development of policies to increase worker mobility
while preserving the traditional right of workers to choose their own employment. An amendment to the
Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA) authorizes the Secretary of Labor to carry out a
number of labor mobility projects designed to assess the feasibility of relocation assistance (grants or loans) in
reducing unemployment.

SP E C IA L GROUPS IN TH E LABO R FO R CE
Agricultural Migrants
Migrant agricultural workers-numbering about 400,000 in recent years-are an economically and socially
handicapped group. Their incomes are small and their work is seasonal. Most migrant workers are required to pay
their own travel and living expenses while they are away from home. The availability of work when they reach
their destination often is uncertain, as are their wage rates and the duration of work. Generally, they are not
covered by laws providing for unemployment insurance, or the right to bargain collectively with their employers.
In addition, migrant workers-with their low levels of education and training-seldom qualify for nonfarm jobs.
The special problems of migratory farmworkers recently have been the focus of attention by Federal, State, and
local governments. In 1966, the Office of Economic Opportunity approved grants to 76 agencies operating in 35
States for education, day-care, housing, and sanitation projects for migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
Approximately 150,000 farmworkers benefited from these programs. In addition, many adult education programs
have been organized under which farmworkers receive a stipend while attending classes, thus equipping them for
additional job training programs and better paying jobs.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment Service has expanded its Annual Worker Plan. Under this program,
workers, employers, and employment service officers attempt to regulate and maximize migrant worker
employment and plan their work schedules in the most beneficial manner. Under the Smaller Communities
Program of the Employment Service, detailed information is collected on the manpower resources of rural
communities in 18 States. This program offers employment services to sparsely populated areas which cannot
support a permanent office, develops training proposals, and provides placement and counseling services. The Farm
Labor Service also is experimenting with counseling, training, and relocation programs for rural workers.

Apprentices
Apprenticeship is training for those occupations, commonly known as skilled crafts or trades, that require a wide
and diverse range of skills and knowledge, as well as extensive work experience. There are about 400
apprenticeable occupations, representing 90 trades.
Training for craftsmanship under apprenticeship programs is based largely upon on-the-job practice under the
supervision of a skilled journeyman. Such training is often combined with classroom instruction in the practical
and theoretical aspects of a trade. Apprenticeship provides a job and, at the same time, a long-term training
program. The duration of apprenticeships generally ranges from 2 to 6 years, depending upon the complexities of
the skills involved.
53

Only a small proportion of young persons currently are being trained in apprenticeship programs. At the end of
1966, about 208,000 apprentices were covered by programs registered by the Department of Labor or cooperating
State agencies. Three major trade groups accounted for more than 85 percent of the registered apprentices.
Fifty-nine percent were in the building trades (in the construction industry and elsewhere), almost 22 percent in
the metal trades, and 6 percent in the printing trades.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT) has long been promoting
apprenticeship training by encouraging the establishment of apprenticeship programs and by providing technical
assistance for setting up such programs. The Bureau works closely with employers, labor, vocational schools, and
others concerned with apprenticeship programs. In this undertaking, both labor and management have the
assistance of the Bureau’s field representatives located in each of the 50 States.

Handicapped Workers
Vocational rehabilitation of the almost 2Vi million physically handicapped persons of working age is a major
problem in the United States. In addition, about 3 million mentally retarded persons are considered to have
potential for earning a living. Despite their impairments, handicapped workers, as a group, have proven themselves
to be efficient and dependable. After sufficient training they can compete with nonhandicapped workers.
Placement of the handicapped, however, is hindered by bias on the part of many employers who believe that
handicapped workers lack the ability and dedication to perform well on the job.
Action to combat employer prejudices is being taken on many fronts. For example, the Federal Coordination
Program for Employment of the Handicapped, established in 1964, placed 9,000 handicapped workers in Federal
Government jobs the first year, and 17,000 in 1966. Similarly, a cumulative total of 3,900 mentally retarded
workers have been placed in 39 Federal Government agencies between the program’s initiation in 1964 and late
1967. In addition, hundreds of mentally retarded persons are being trained annually for many different
occupations under this program. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act amendments of 1965 made possible increased
Federal participation in the rehabilitation of the severely handicapped. Handicapped workers who lose their jobs in
distressed areas, or who are unemployed for long periods, may qualify for assistance under Federal manpower
training and retraining programs. In addition, much work has been done by voluntary associations and large
industrial employers to help the handicapped.

Minority Groups
The enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 marked the efforts of the Federal Government to put an end to
discrimination in the hiring and career advancement of minority groups. However, Negroes and other minority
groups often are disadvantaged because of a lack of education and training. Although the economic status of
Negroes has improved steadily in recent decades, they still lag behind the majority of citizens in economic
well-being. Negroes continue to be concentrated in the low-skilled occupations and their rate of unemployment is
about twice that for white workers. Members of other minority groups—for example, Puerto Ricans and
Mexicans—have the additional problem of language barriers.
Federal efforts to promote equal job opportunities for Negroes and other minority groups have been intensified in
recent years. The Economic Opportunity Act, enacted in 1964, is designed to improve the motivation, skills,
employability, and social outlook of the young people of the country. Under the Manpower Development and
Training Act, members of minority groups are being prepared for occupations that offer greater stability of
employment. Also, in January 1964, the U.S. Department of Labor issued regulations barring the registration of
apprenticeship programs that fail to ensure equality of opportunity.

Older Workers
Although older workers are less likely than younger workers to lose their jobs, those who become unemployed
often face serious difficulties in getting new jobs and may remain unemployed for long periods. Older workers are
likely to have less formal education than younger people and their education may not be keyed to current
occupational demands; they often encounter hiring age limits set by employers; and they may find it difficult to
move to areas offering greater employment opportunities because of home ownership, and family and other
community ties. Older workers also may be forced to take jobs that make little or no use of their previously
acquired skills and experience.
In recent years, both the Federal and State Governments have taken steps to meet the problems of older workers.
Notable among these steps is the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 (MDTA), which provides for
training of unemployed and underemployed workers who lack the skills needed in today’s labor market. Recent
amendments to MDTA provide for basic literacy training. Provision is made for subsistence allowances during the
training period and relocation allowances designed to assist individuals leaving an area to find appropriate
employment. Similarly, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 established several programs that offer financial
support or pay training costs for needy adults who enroll in projects intended to eliminate illiteracy and raise their
levels of education or training.
Other programs include the assignment of older worker specialists to a number of State employment service
agencies that are cooperating with training, rehabilitation, and welfare agencies serving older workers.

Part-Time Workers
One of the notable postwar changes in the utilization of this country’s manpower is a marked increase in part-time
employment-employment for fewer than 35 hours a week. The great bulk of such employment is voluntary in the
sense that the workers are not seeking full-time employment. Part-time workers are primarily housewives and
students who are not available or willing to work full-time because of family, school, or other obligations. Another
large group is composed of semiretired persons and others who prefer not to work a full week, or cannot because
of ill health or partial disability.
Workers on part-time for economic reasons are those who want full-time work but cannot find it, or who are
employed on jobs that are ordinarily full-time but have been cut back because of business conditions. In 1966,
these workers accounted for nearly one-sixth of the total part-time employed.
The recent prolonged period of prosperity has helped the employment situation of those seeking part-time work.
Employment among full-time workers rose 1.8 million in 1966, 230,000 less than in 1965; the increase in 1966
among part-time workers was 600,000, double that for the previous year.

Veterans
The serviceman who returns to civilian life has several alternatives as to what his future work status will be. He
may choose to return to the job he held prior to entering the service, or he may decide to obtain training to
better equip him in the civilian world of work.
The Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1947 guarantees to the veteran the same seniority, status, and
pay he would have received if he had continued his employment from the time of his entering the Armed Forces
until the time of his reemployment. Training allowances are available under the Manpower Development and
Training Act of 1962, as amended, to ex-servicemen who are enrolled in vocational school programs to learn a skill
needed in industry. On-the-job training and other programs for veterans are also available under the MDTA. Under
the benefits of the Veterans Readjustment Act of 1966, veterans can receive aid for up to 36 months of college or
other institutional training.
In addition to the training and education programs available to veterans, efforts are being made to make Armed
Forces training equip the serviceman with skills and experience that will aid him in obtaining a civilian occupation
as well as for his duties while in the service.

Women and Girls
The rising number of women workers and their expanding job opportunities attests to their growing contribution
to economic activity. Between 1966 and 1980, the number of women in the labor force is expected to rise from
about 28 million to 36 million, an increase of about 29 percent.
For some time women have been faced with problems that limit the full realization of their economic potential.
For example, since women’s occupational role traditionally has been narrowly conceived, the extent of their
education and training often has been limited. Consequently, many of the lowest paid jobs in manufacturing and
service industries have been filled by women. Many barriers to the employment of women were dropped when the
Civil Rights and Equal Pay Acts of 1964 were enacted.
Since many married women now enter the labor market because home and family responsibilities take less time,
they need specialized guidance and counseling in making decisions concerning education, employment
opportunities, and leisure time activities. Women returning to work after years of homemaking often have job
placement problems, because the skills they once possessed are obsolete. Young girls need to be made aware of the
careers open to them and encouraged to enter occupations where their greatest interests lie.

Youth
An unprecedented number of young people will enter the labor force in the next few years. Although job
prospects for young people who complete college will be highly favorable, school dropouts will face major job
problems since, in many of the occupations traditionally open to them, employment is expected to increase
slowly or, in some cases, decline. Also, many of the jobs for which dropouts qualify offer little security.
Unemployment is much higher among young people than adults. Because youths are relatively inexperienced and
lack seniority they are often vulnerable to layoffs. Also, young people frequently quit jobs in hope of finding
some suitable career fields.
The employment problems of many youths are complicated not only by inadequate training, but also because they
lack vocational guidance and motivation. The special handicaps faced by racial minorities, rural youths, and
physically or mentally handicapped youths create additional employment problems.
The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 is heavily oriented toward aiding young workers. The Job Corps,
Neighborhood Youth Corps, and Work-Study Program, established under the Act, enable young people to gain
more education, vocational training, and work experience. Counselors and other educators, parents, representatives
of management and labor, and government officials, both at the national and local level, face the challenge of
developing action programs or in revising existing programs. This section provides examples of literature dealing
with the special employment problems, policies, and programs concerning young workers.

SCHOOL DROPOUTS
A boy or girl who enters today’s job market without a usable skill is severely handicapped. For example, in
October 1965, more than 1 of every 5 high school dropouts was unemployed-almost twice the ratio of high
school graduates. The situation for dropouts can be expected to become worse in the coming years, because
workers without a high school diploma will have increasing difficulty entering those expanding occupations where
education and training qualifications are high.
Dropouts are handicapped, not only by their lack of education and experience, but also by the unfavorable image
that dropouts have among employers. Dropping out of school often suggests lack of motivation and perseverance,
difficulty in learning, and the absence of other qualifications that employers look for in job applicants.

SO U R CES OF S T A T IS T IC S U SEFU L TO CO U N SELO R S
Federal and State Government agencies compile and publish a great variety of statistical information that details
the characteristics of our population and labor force. Much of this information can be useful to counselors. For
example, such statistics provide information on the number employed in an occupation; whether its workers are
geographically concentrated or dispersed; whether the occupation employs more men than women, more white
than nonwhite, more young persons than old; and the industries in which its workers are employed. Counselors
can use such information to identify jobs for youth or to help determine the relative importance of particular
occupations and industries in their localities.
The purpose of this section is to familiarize counselors with employment and related statistics available from
several major Federal, State, and local sources. Examples of how counselors can use the statistics are given. The
sources depict the social and economic characteristics of State and local populations or those of the Nation as a
whole. These sources supply three main types of data; employment by occupation and industry, current
employment and unemployment, and wages.
(See also: Occupational and Industry Manpower Literature, page 4.)

Employment by Occupation And Industry

a. The U.S. Census o f Population, compiled and published every tenth year, is the most comprehensive source of
statistical information on employment by occupation and industry. The most recent Census data are for 1960.
Counselors will find that the most useful of the many Census reports are those called “Detailed Characteristics,”
which are available for each State. These reports provide information on the population’s social characteristics such
as age, race, school enrollment, and school years completed; and economic characteristics, such as occupation and
industry of employment, weekly hours of work, and income. For some characteristics, metropolitan areas with
population exceeding 100,000 are tabulated separately.
b. Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66 (reissued each year) provides historical data
on employment, average weekly hours, and hourly and weekly earnings, by industry, for States and metropolitan
areas. The major industries of each State and area are included.
These two statistical sources can help counselors obtain data for many of the employment characteristics of State
and local areas. By examining Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66, a counselor in
Salt Lake City, Utah, for example, can determine many facts about employment in his local area and State. In
1966, there were 319,200 persons employed in nonagricultural jobs in the State of Utah. More than half of these
people were employed in the Salt Lake City area. Most workers in the State were employed by government,
wholesale and retail trade, or manufacturing concerns. Employment of government workers has increased rapidly
between 1956 and 1966, rising from 54,700 to 90,900. Employment in the bituminous coal industry has been
falling over the last few years. In 1956, there were 3,100 people employed in the industry; in 1966 only 1,400
people were so employed. Over sixty percent of those employed in Utah contract construction worked in the Salt
Lake City area.
Utah counselors can find information about the occupations and industries in which workers in both Utah and the
Salt Lake City area are employed in U.S. Census o f Population: 1960 Detailed Characteristics, Utah.3 According
to this source, for example, there were 5,052 employed carpenters in 1960; nearly 3,500 of them worked in the
contract construction industry. About 243 employed pharmacists were employed in the Salt Lake City area. In
1959, their average (mean) earnings were $6,238, and nearly one-sixth earned between $7,000 and $9,999.
3 Industry employment totals for 1960 in Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-66, and in the U.S.
Census o f Population differ for several technical reasons. For example, establishment data in the former publication covers wage
and salary workers only and are obtained from the payrolls of industrial establishments; Census data cover all workers in an
industry (wage and salary, self-employed, and unpaid family workers) and are obtained through household interviews.

c. County Business Patterns furnishes detailed data on employment in industries, by county. State summaries and
a U.S. summary are published annually. The latest U.S. summary contains data for the first quarter of 1966.
Whereas Employment and Earnings for States and Areas, 1939-66, gives employment data only for large industries,
by State and metropolitan area, County Business Patterns provides such data for all industries, by county. Hence,
counselors located outside metropolitan areas (e.g. small cities and rural areas) will find the data in this publication
particularly useful. It shows, for example, that 108 persons were employed in furniture stores in the Kent County
of Rhode Island in mid-March 1966.
d. Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-67 (reissued every year) furnishes historical
average annual employment data for over 350 nonagricultural industries. Data are included on employment, by
sex; production workers; hourly and weekly earnings; and overtime hours. The data in this publication are the
national totals of the data for individual States published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for States and
Areas, 1939-66.

Current Employment and Unemployment

Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, presents comprehensive monthly statistics on
the Nation’s labor force; employment and unemployment trends; numbers of workers, and production workers;
weekly hours; hourly and weekly earnings; payroll and man-hour indexes; and labor turnover rates. In addition, for
States and selected metropolitan areas, statistics are provided on employment in major industries, gross hours and
earnings of production workers, and labor turnover rates in manufacturing.4 An annual supplement provides
annual averages for all series for recent years.
Counselors can find much useful information in this publication. For example, in May 1967 manufacturing
production workers in Denver, Colorado, averaged $123.62 for a 42.2 hour workweek; total nonagricultural
employment in Waterloo, Iowa increased from 48,600 in April 1967 to 49,400 in May 1967. Most of the
employment increase in Waterloo in this period was in manufacturing, which increased from 20,700 to 21,300.

Statistics. Published monthly. $7 a year; 65 cents an issue.

III. Wages and Income
Community Wage Surveys are published annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 86 labor areas. These
studies are designed to provide data on occupational earnings, establishment practices, and supplementary wage
provisions. The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing
industries and are grouped as follows: Office clerical; professional and technical; maintenance and powerplant; and
custodial and materials movement. The following examples of the types of information published are from a
March 1965 wage survey of the Cincinnati, Ohio - Kentucky area: 660 maintenance electricians had average hourly
earnings of $3.26; one-half of the maintenance electricians earned between $2.93 and $3.51 an hour.
Industry Wage Surveys, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, provide information on the average
straight-time earnings of workers in particular industries, such as basic iron and steel, foundries, and motor
vehicles. Two types of industry wage surveys are conducted: (1) Those providing information on the average and
distribution of employee earnings without regard to occupation; and (2) those providing information for selected
occupations representative of jobs in particular industries. These surveys usually include information on
supplementary benefits, e.g., paid holidays and paid vacations. From the surveys above, counselors can compare
the earnings of workers in an occupation in various regions and metropolitan areas.
Union Scale Studies are published annually by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provide information on the
minimum wage scales and maximum schedules of hours at straight time rates agreed upon through collective
bargaining in selected metropolitan areas. Such studies are available for building trades workers, local transit
operating employees, motortruck drivers and employees, printing industry workers, and others. Counselors can use
this information to compare union scales for particular occupations in their areas with those of other areas and the
Nation as a whole.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, has published statistical studies of 36 cities that
provide information on population, male civilian labor force, high school enrollment, educational attainment,
income level, and unemployment, by ethnic group and neighborhood. Based on data collected during the 1960
Census of Population, these studies were made to help meet the needs of the President’s Committee on Youth
Employment for information on area environmental factors that could be associated with disadvantaged youth.
These studies were prepared for cities that had populations of 500,000 or more, as well as for a few smaller cities.

Government Printing Office. Approximately 25,000 pieces of mail are delivered each day in the world’s largest
printing house. These requests, orders, and inquiries reflect impressions of the Government Printing Office held in
the mind of the public. Following are a few popular impressions-Are they true or false?
1. The GPO is a huge information agency that deals with all documents published by the Federal Government.
False. Although the GPO’s Division of Public Documents, commonly known as Superintendent of Documents,
maintains a reference department, searching is limited to identification of the titles available in its sales stock of
over 25,000 different publications.
2. Because of its size, GPO is necessarily slow in filling orders.
False. Despite its size and heavy workload, GPO processes most orders relatively quickly; it compares favorably
with its counterpart in private industry, the mail-order house. Many delays occur because of insufficient ordering
information from the customer. Another frequent time-consuming error is the attempt by customers to order
publications through the various Government agencies in Washington, D.C. Most agencies cannot sell publications
and, therefore, must refer orders to the Superintendent of Documents.
3. The Government pays the postage on most publications ordered from GPO.
True. The price charged for Government publications includes the postage required to send them by regular mail to
addresses in the United States.
4. GPO allows a discount on large orders.
True. A 25-percent discount is allowed on orders for 100 copies or more of the same publication mailed to one
address. The discount can mean a big saving when a person is ordering for several classes or for different schools in
the same system.
5. The GPO is an excellent source of free Government literature.
False. The GPO is not a source of free literature. It does the printing for the Congress, Executive Office, the
judiciary, all executive departments, independent offices, and establishments of the Government, and sells to the
public through its Superintendent of Documents.
For a free copy of a publication write directly to the issuing agency or department in Washington, D.C. If you do
not know which Government agency issued the publication, consult your librarian. Bear in mind, however, that
the issuing agencies have only limited supplies of their priced publications for free distribution.
Many people, when writing to a particular Government agency for a free copy of a publication, tack onto the
address “Government Printing Office” or “c/o Superintendent of Documents.” This practice amounts to a
conflicting address and the post office will always deliver such letters to the GPO. Thus, your request for free
material is classified as a “sales” transaction.
To make sure you will get a copy of the publication you want, it is safer to purchase it directly through the sales
agent, the Superintendent of Documents. With very few exceptions, a remittance should not be sent directly to a
Government agency. They are not authorized to handle such remittances and must either refer your order to GPO,
or return it to you. Some agencies, however, do maintain regional offices throughout the country which, in

addition to their specific functions, sell the publications prepared by their own agency. The Labor Department’s
Bureau of Labor Statistics, which has eight regional offices, is a case in point. (For BLS regional office addresses,
see Appendix B, page 83.)

How To Order
Many avoidable errors are made in ordering publications through the GPO. Be sure to include all of the following
information: Title of the publication, quantity, price, your name and address, and the remittance.
If the need should arise to check on publications not received, all of the original identifying information should be
restated in your inquiry. Preferably, an exact copy of the purchase order should be sent. References to the
sender’s purchase order number or the date of the original order are meaningless to the GPO in trying to locate
your order. Should a second followup be necessary, include all identifying information and state that this is the
second followup. In this way, the search will not be duplicated.

Various Methods
Schools, boards of education, and other State and local agencies, in ordering publications from the Superintendent
of Documents, may meet a seeming impasse: the GPO must have remittance before shipment; the schools cannot
issue checks until publications have been delivered. In order to reconcile these differences, several systems have
been devised to accommodate schools and other agencies. The following sections describe these systems.
Claim Voucher: One system of ordering involves claim vouchers, which are blank forms designed, printed, and
used by individual schools. These vouchers are as varied in size, color, and text as they are in number. Whether
attached to a purchase order or combined with one in a single form, the voucher basically states that the vendor
(GPO) has delivered goods and has not received payment.

When such a claim voucher is received with a purchase order by the Superintendent of Documents, personnel there
will stamp the voucher “Pro Forma Invoice,” fill it out in accordance with the purchase order, sign, and even
notarize it if requested to do so. Any changes in titles or prices are made on the voucher and purchase order. Both
forms are then returned to the school or agency, which processes them and issues a check. The purchase order is
then resubmitted with the covering check and the sale is transacted.

Pro Forma Invoice: This system is similar to the claim voucher system, except that the piece of paper necessary to
support the disbursement is not preprinted by the school but is supplied by the Superintendent of Documents, on
request. The pro forma invoice is filled out, as is the claim voucher, to conform with the purchase order, signed,
notarized if necessary, and sent out to the school. There it is processed, a check is issued, and the purchase order
and one copy of the pro forma invoice are resubmitted with the check.

Note that the first step in both the claim voucher and pro forma invoice systems is merely preliminary paperwork.
No sale is transacted until the paper is returned with the check. Up until that point, the GPO has kept no record
of the transaction, has not reserved publications, and has made no shipments. In fact, GPO does not guarantee
that prices will remain the same or that publications will be available until the sale is consummated, although
ordinarily discrepancies do not occur.
Certified Invoice; Paid Receipt: Many schools and agencies, either through special funds or by agreement with
their disbursing officials, are able to send checks with their order but require a certified invoice or paid receipt to

support the disbursement of these funds. The Superintendent of Documents provides these either on forms
provided by the schools or by issuing its own receipts, and the forms are sent with the shipment of publications.
This system avoids the necessity of resubmitting the purchase order and thereby expedites shipment.

Combination Systems
The following two methods of ordering are growing in popularity. Both methods are simple to set up and are paid
for by just one check which is issued in accordance with the system described above (claim voucher, pro forma
invoice, or certified invoice) which best suits a particular school.
Coupons. Special document coupons in 5-cent denominations are sold by the GPO in sets of 20. Discrepancies in
price can be corrected and refunds made through this convenient means of exchange. The Superintendent of
Documents, which as a rule makes refunds of less than $1 in the form of coupons, finds them so popular that
many customers request that all refunds be made in that form.
Schools using these coupons generally are small or are branches of larger school systems. In many cases, the board
of education might purchase several hundred dollars worth of coupons and distribute blocks of $25 or $50 to its
various schools.
Depositors* Accounts. Even more popular-and most suitable for schools which order rather frequently from the
GPO-are the depositors’ accounts. More than 40,000 of them are currently in use. Probably the ideal ordering
system for schools, these accounts can be opened for as little as $25. This method of ordering provides the
maximum convenience for schools and State agencies, because it enables them to avoid obtaining quotations,
sending individual remittances, and preparing claim vouchers for each order.
When such an account is opened, an individual account number is assigned, a supply of special depositors’ order
blanks is forwarded to the new depositor, and orders are filled as soon as they are received. Annotations are made
on the order blanks as to the status of any nondelivered goods and are sent to the depositor, showing charges
made and balance on hand. The Superintendent of Documents will advise the depositor when this balance becomes
low. There is no charge for maintaining a deposit account.
With these last two methods, the check to cover the cost is procured through the system ordinarily used by the
school. But in these instances the purchase order would read, for example, “Special Document Coupons: $50” or
“ For Depositor’s Account: $100.” The accompanying claim voucher or pro forma invoice, if requested, would be
executed by the Superintendent of Documents and sent to the school. The check that would then be issued by
the school or agency would cover the cost of several months’ or perhaps a year’s supply of Government
publications and would eliminate many separate paper processings. Use of coupons or depositors’ accounts also
facilitates the ordering of low-price publications and subscriptions which might otherwise not have been placed,
being thought of as “not worth all that paperwork.”

Points to Remember
1. Do include all the necessary identifying information when ordering publications from GPO.
2. Do write directly to the issuing agency for publications meant for free distribution. Do not add “GPO” to the
address.
3. Do not add postage when totaling your bill if you want the publications sent by regular mail. Do add the
postage if you request air mail, special delivery, or foreign delivery. One-fourth of the purchase price of
publications should be added for foreign mail.
4. Do not send cash or postage stamps in payment. Do send check or money order, payable to the Superintendent
of Documents, or special document coupons with your order unless you are charging the publications against your
depositor’s account.

5. Do remember the 25-percent discount allowed on orders for 100 copies or more of the same publication to be
mailed to one address. You may find that you can consolidate your order with that of another teacher or
counselor.
6. Do keep abreast of current Government publications for sale. Request that your name be added to the growing
list (now over 1 million) of those who receive free the semimonthly list of selected Government publications. (See
page 76 for information on how to obtain this list.)
7. Do separate any request for information from a direct order. If you do not, your order will be held up until
the search for information has been completed.
Requests for information and orders for priced publications should be addressed to the Superintendent o f
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C 20402.

Much Government issued occupational literature that is of interest to teachers and vocational guidance counselors
is prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The BLS has eight regional offices located throughout the country. These offices have been designated as agents of
the Superintendent of Documents for the purpose of selling priced publications. In addition, they distribute all of
the free BLS publications. Each office sends out periodic announcements describing the free and priced materials
available through them.

APPENDIX E. FED ER A L DEPOSITORY LIBR A R IES
Certain libraries throughout the United States are designated depositories for Government publications. Through
them Federal Government publications are made available to residents of every State, the District of Columbia,
and Puerto Rico.
It is sometimes impossible to obtain desired publications from the Superintendent of Documents. Stocks may have
been exhausted or the document may be out of print. In these instances, the depository libraries render an
invaluable service by keeping such publications permanently available. Not every Government publication can be
found at all depository libraries, as each library selects the classes of publications of interest to its particular
clientele. The depository libraries are, nevertheless, an excellent source for locating Government published
manpower and other counseling information.
The following list shows the location and names of each of the depository libraries as of February 1967. Those
libraries designated as REGIONAL receive and retain at least one copy of all Government publications made
available to depositories and provide interlibrary loans and reference services for the other depository libraries
located within their region.
